Turkey is making a mistake by linking an improvement in ties with Armenia, says the report of Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation. "Tying the Turkish-Armenian rapprochement to the Karabakh issue, which won't be resolved for a long time, is a great mistake, because Turkey's policy of punishing Armenia has yet to yield the results it wants," said Aybars Gorgulu, co-author of the report. Turkish premier Erdogan's latest comments made after a meeting with Azeri president "negatively impact the rapprochement with Armenia," Reuters quotes Gorgulu as saying.
